have recently discovered some tracks from a rather improbable pairing:
Rammstein
+ Tatu. I cannot locate this release. Anyone out
there have a copy or source where this may be purchased? Please
let me know. ~Rabies
*Edit: April,
2006: Found a web store in Russia that had it for sale.

Figures.com Debuts Lolita Sun Exclusive
Goth Fashion Doll:
Figures.com,
a site which acts as both portal to toy companies and as a vendor
of collectibles, is now taking pre-orders for a limited 12 inch goth
doll, named Lolita Sun. She looks like a gothed up
Bratz doll, but I must admit she looks cool! Check
out their website for higher res photos of Lolita. Here's the official
press release:
 Figures.com,
a leading online source for toy news, announced today the official
launch of its exclusive Goth Fashion Doll, Lolita
Sun, created by Bleeding
Edge.
Tapping
into the hot goth trend, Bleeding Edge has created a new fashion doll
aptly named Lolita Sun. She brings some light into the expanding line
of 12 inch Fashion Dolls from Bleeding Edge. Figures.com is now exclusively
accepting pre-orders for this piece of goth culture.
 With
her hot pink hair and glossy purple lips, Lolita is a unique individual
who loves millipedes, centipedes, strawberry milk, and sterling roses.
Her dislikes include, but are not limited to, stupid people, ignorant
people, small-minded people and Hip Hop. Lolita will grab your heart
and squeeze it in her little hands!
 This
Figures.com Exclusive will delight and intrigue goth culture addicts
and admirers. Lolita Sun is an articulated 12 inch fashion doll with
attitude.
Lolita
Sun is limited to a 3,000 piece run and is scheduled to begin shipping
in November 2003 for $29.95 each.
Pre-orders
are now being taken at www.figures.com/lolitasun/
Rabies Confused by Doll Marketing
 "Hot
goth trend"? When did this happen? And where is this taking
place? I'm REALLY out of the loop... Is Emily
Strange the trend in question, or is there more of a general
goth mainstream cross-over than I'm aware of? Email
me, Rabies the clueless.
